Over time, animals adapt to the foods they regularly consume. This is how archaeologists can, for example, determine that Triceratops was an herbivore and Tyrannosaurus was a carnivore just by looking at the structure of the skeleton. Adaptations to diet extend beyond skeletal structure, into digestion, metabolism, the brain, musculature, and other aspects of physical function. What is our evolutionary history with meat?

Human Evolutionary History with Meat: 200 to 2.6 Million Years Ago

Mammals evolved from ancestral "mammal-like reptiles" (therapsids, then cynodonts) approximately 220 million years ago (Richard Klein. The Human Career. 2009). Roughly 100 million years ago, placental mammals emerged. The earliest placental mammals are thought to have been nocturnal shrew-like beasts that subsisted primarily on insects, similar to modern shrews and moles. Mammalian teeth continued to show features specialized for insect consumption until the rise of the primates.

65 million years ago, coinciding with the evolution of the first fruiting plants, our ancestors took to the trees and became primates. For most of the time between then and now, our ancestors likely ate the prototypical primate diet of fruit, seeds, leaves/stems, and insects (1). Some primates also hunt smaller animals and thus eat the flesh of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish in addition to insects. However, the contribution of non-insect meat to the diet is usually small.

Scotiabank Half and Full Marathon

Half Marathon

RunnerRob finished with an outstanding new personal best of 1:14:14, placing 12th OA in a very competitive field.

Justin Buis hammered a very impressive 1:41:22, taking almost 30 minutes off his PB of 2:10 from the start of the season!

Full Marathon

Holger, using this race as a tune up run, ran a very solid 3:05:45!

Heather Heij ran tough through a cold and congested lungs, finishing with just under 28K.

Kidsability!

College XC

Payton and her Conestoga College teammates managed to place 3rd at the Ontario Provincial championships.  Payton was 4th on her team with a solid time of 23 minutes.  This is enough to qualify the girls for the National Championships in Calgary!

It's hard to believe, but this is the THIRD year in a row that the team has entered a solid contingent in the WRS Oktoberfest Run.  This year was, without a doubt, our most successful.  Here is a complete summary of our results (Thanks to Julie Schmidt for all the great photography).

On a side note, if our top 5 runners had all been placed on 1 team, our average finishing time would have been an outstanding 16:33!!
